The Civil War in America: Federals advancing on the abandoned Confederate positions at Centreville - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. 'On the 10th March the advance of the Federal forces on Centreville and Manassas took place - the subject of the Engraving...being the approach of the Union column to the abandoned Confederate works on Centreville heights. Beyond is seen the smoke from one of the numerous burning camps destroyed by the Secessionists on evacuating the positions. Many of the "guns" in the forts were dummies, being nothing more that huge painted logs placed there as substitutes for the guns which the Confederates had been gradually removing for the previous month. The town of Centreville, at least the cluster of half-ruined shanties that compose it, is over the brow of the hill, and Manassas lies seven miles further on'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
